The creating process has been hard and time consuming, so I really hope it pays off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1015069 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 20:30:28 +0000 Debra 1015069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looking capsules and what an interesting idea to hang together !!!!!!<br /> This makes sense something I will be thinking about this weekend now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1015067 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 20:29:01 +0000 Lisa 1015067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are doing a great job with your capsules! I only did one so far, and it took me a long time. And I only focused on the ensemble post, not even a full capsule post yet, <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-out-angies-casual-motg-ensemble">here</a>. I plan to work on more this weekend. I'm trying to decide how to sort my closet, I might try out hanging items by capsule instead of categories and color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1015039 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 20:01:44 +0000 AnnieMouse 1015039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea! The idea of organising by capsule is a really good idea. Having all my pants together can make it tough to think of what they will work with, so this seems helpful to me. </p> <p>As I've said before, I love the <i>idea </i>of capsules, but I always end up reaching around them for additional add-ins, though the idea is always compelling. This might be a nice work around to that, by blending my capsules, somewhat. </p> <p>I'm thinking something like <br />Casual toppers<br />Casual bottoms<br />Casual tops<br />Career tops<br />Career bottoms <br />Career toppers</p> <p>Then I've got the toppers and bottoms from each capsule sort of bookending the blouses and tees of each casule, giving those bottoms that much more playing room. *hmmm* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1015011 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:06:03 +0000 jurocha 1015011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Ingunn, a compliment from you is twice as precious. I admire your style (and compact season-smart capsules) a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1014997 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 18:49:27 +0000 Ingunn 1014997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your clothes!

I feel more confident of my capsules after your kind words. I do hope I get more use of the red full skirt... it's so pretty, right? It would be a real shame if it spent another season inside a package... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1014559 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:24:21 +0000 Pawprints 1014559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must be looking forward to your social life after doing this capsule. You're queen of beautiful details that elevate everything. Love that swishy red skirt, leather jacket, classic stripes, those refined dots. Then the pop of fuschia, the furry something, the artsy sweater texture, the elegant subtle trim on another. Then all the neutral colors and basic shapes plus cool accessories that hold it all together. </p> <p>Looks like a night on the sofa was worth it. Everything is so much more head turning in the photos and as part of the collections than they sound just from reading descriptions. You're going to have fun in these capsules. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1014534 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 09:06:27 +0000 jurocha 1014534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey girls!

The styles and colors seem well integrated and yet with variety. Transitional and winter seem like they will intermix too depending on your weather and needs. </p> <p>So right it's nice not to have to shop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1014096 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:08:41 +0000 cobaltblue 1014096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great!

Hehe, I actually like organizing! Well I think your capsules look good, I love the color scheme. You'll have to let us know how they work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1013953 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 15:54:09 +0000 rute 1013953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous work! I need to do the same! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ensembles-for-work-transitionwinter#post-1013945 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 15:47:32 +0000 jurocha 1013945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I emptied my wardrobe for season cleaning/storing and decided to 1) create capsules for all my current needs (which include a business casual capsule and winter sports) and 2) organize the wardrobe itself by capsules (rather than the color/type of clothing system I had before).</p> <p>I can't yet say my capsules organization will survive the daily routine test, but I am happy that by exploring the capsule approach to outfit development... I discovered I had more options to do business casual than I believed. (Less shopping needed! And I must say I am kinda of tired of shopping sprees; it would be nice to actually have evrything I need in my closet for once!)</p> <p>(Well, putting stuff back in place is a pain in the neck. But season cleaning usually is... So I am resigned to at least this pain.)</p> <p>The first pic shows my Winter Business Casual Capsule.<br /> A. Tops and sweaters<br /> 1. Dark grey tailored wool sweater<br /> 2. Black tailored wool sweater<br /> 3. Cab yellow oversized wool sweater<br /> 4. Navy boxy wool sweater<br /> 5. White long sleeved cotton shirt</p> <p>B. Bottoms<br /> 1. Black polyester blend pencil skirt<br /> 2. Polka dots wool skirt (slight A-shape)<br /> 3. Navy patterned polyester and cotton blend straight legs suit trousers</p> <p>C. Toppers<br /> 1. Navy patterned polyester and cotton blazer<br /> 2. Black polyester blend tailored blazer (with black and white striped lining)</p> <p>D. Outerwear<br /> 1. Black fluffy winter coat (not pictured)</p> <p>Pic 2 shows the booties that goes with the Winter Business Casual Capsule (they are the only brand new item from the selection, actually). A shoulder/messenger bag in black leather (not pictured) completes the capsule.</p> <p>The third pic is a Transition Weather Business Casual Capsule.</p> <p>A. Tops<br /> 1. White, long sleeved silk button down<br /> 2. White cotton shirt<br /> 3. Black cotton shirt<br /> 4. Dark grey 3/4 sleeves viscose shirt</p> <p>B. Bottoms<br /> 1. Black &amp; white patterned polyester and cotton blend skirt<br /> 2. Black &amp; white A-line, full skirt</p> <p>C. Toppers<br /> 1. Cobalt blue tailored viscose blazer<br /> 2. Black tailored viscose blazer</p> <p>D. Dresses<br /> 1. Dark grey bubble hem cotton dress</p> <p>Black pumps and cobalt pumps (not pictured) are also part of the Transition Weather Business Casual Capsule. The same trusted black shoulder/message bag will be taken from Winter Business Casual to Transition Weather Business Casual. </p> <p>What do you guys think? </p>
